Research direction
Start with the migrated issue and its linked bugs.python.org issue 34881, focusing on the email component and the reported DKIM-signature breakage. Reproduce or trace the unnecessary encoded-words behavior in the affected Python email handling, and consider the issue done when that behavior no longer invalidates DKIM signatures without regressing the supported Python 3.6 and 3.7 behavior.
